Offering amenities such as a custom wine cellar, lofted office space, copper- soaking tub, detached carriage house, and bountiful outdoor living space, this home perfectly reflects the lifestyle of the owners in every detail. Since lake homes are seen from the water as much or more often than from the street, the aesthetic importance of the home’s lake side is elevated. Spatially, the home is laid out in a way that is practical and conducive to the current needs of the owners and also affords them the ability to age in place.
